Cameroon is holding its breath as Lucien Agoumé's name is repeatedly mentioned in the Indomitable Lions' den. The 24-year-old midfielder, currently with FC Sevilla, faces a crucial choice: represent Cameroon or continue his international career with France.
Since his appointment, David Pagou, the coach of the Indomitable Lions, has undertaken a restructuring of the team, dismissing some key players in preparation for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. With this in mind, the Cameroonian Football Federation is stepping up efforts to attract bi-national players.
Lucien Agoumé, due to his profile, represents a major strategic issue for Cameroon. Playing for FC Sevilla, he is demonstrating increasing maturity and influence in La Liga. His statistics this season reflect his progress, with 22 league appearances, one goal and two assists.
Trained in the youth ranks of the French national team, Agoumé is at a defining crossroads in his international career. Cameroon offers him a central role in an ambitious reconstruction project, while France represents the continuation of an already well-established path.
Agoumé's arrival could bring new balance and intensity to the Cameroonian midfield. His profile matches the philosophy advocated by David Pagou: youth, tactical discipline and total commitment.
Born in Yaoundé on February 9, 2002, Agoumé spent much of his youth in France. He played for the French U16, U17 and U18 teams.
The final decision rests with the player. Cameroon hopes, France observes, and Lucien Agoumé's choice could well be a key to the revival of the Indomitable Lions. As of February 22, 2026, Agoumé played 90 minutes in the 1-0 away win against Getafe.
The U17 Lionceaux qualified for the U17 CAN after a solid run in the UNIFFAC U17 tournament, where they won their first two matches. They will face the Democratic Republic of Congo in their final match.
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation has denied rumors of the departure of Walid Regragui, the coach of the Moroccan national team. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has ordered the Central African Republic to pay 300,000 euros to its former coach, Raoul Savoy, for breach of contract.
